8.2 Loop connection
It is possible to control several Excalibur Sport ergometers with one external device using
RS232. Connect the RS232-in connector to the external device. Connect the RS232-out
connector to the RS232-in connector of the following Excalibur Sport ergometer, and so on.
The maximum number of Excalibur Sport ergometers that can be connected in this way is 8.
Use the device number option in SYSTEM PARAMETERS to give each Excalibur Sport a
unique number. In this way each Excalibur Sportcan be controlled separately, using the LEM
